Gemini confirms 15,000 customers impacted by banking breach

Crypto exchange Gemini has warned users to monitor their accounts for unusual activity after it confirmed that around 15,000 of its customers might be affected by a breach of its banking partner.  As reported by Bleeping Computer, Gemini began contacting affected customers last month to tell them that its unnamed automated clearing house provider had been breached. It informed the California Office of Attorney General last Thursday.  According to Gemini, “an unauthorized actor gained access to an internal collaboration tool on the bank partner’s system, which may have resulted in the potential disclosure of certain transactional data between June 3 and June 7, 2024.” As a result, “a subset of some Gemini customers’ banking information was potentially impacted as part of the incident.,” the exchange added.

The SHIB-themed diner serves hot wings, burgers and cocktails, but despite the branding, still trades mostly in fiat. After a grand opening in March, Australian fast-food diner Shiba Wings has seen plenty of customers walking through the doors for their fried delectables.  Their appetite, however, hasn’t translated to crypto payments. The Shiba Inu (SHIB) themed diner first opened its doors in Australia’s beachside city Surfers Paradise on March 18, 2023. Speaking to Cointelegraph, the pseudonymous owner of the diner, “Elijah,” said their first week saw roughly $168 (250 Australian dollars) worth of crypto payments.
